I have abit of a migraine tonight so just a quick post before I attempt to get an early night.

I'm pretty pleased with my outfit today, not so impressed with the fact that I got up so late this morning that I forgot to put any jewellery on and only had time to take one photo!

This dress is one of my buys from Clarks Village last weekend, I have been wanting a sheer dress/top for a while. I was a little hesitant of the drop waist, I was expecting it to be pretty unflattering on my child bearing hips(thanks Mum for that gene!) But after trying it on(in the middle of the shop, thank you Next Clearance for providing NO changing rooms!) I was sold. Especially with the reduced from £30 to £15 price tag! The boys at work said I looked like I was wearing a nightdress, but what do a bunch of middle aged joiners know!

Sorry for my absence in the last week or so, I had a stressful 'stop the world I want to get off!' kind of week. But the past few days have been alot more relaxed, spending time with my family to celebrate my 22nd birthday(which was yesterday).

On Saturday I went up to Clarks Village(I love this place!) with my Mum and Sister for a little shopping trip, but I will do a post on that in the next few days hopefully!

Yesterday the Mr treated me like a princess for the day, breakfast pancakes in bed and a trip to the zoo, what more could a girl want! I love the zoo, probably a little too much, especially the elephants!

So, this is what I wore, it was bloody cold yesterday! Sorry for the blurry photo, the Mr took the picture!

Yesterday I went to the little village near my house to go and have a rummage around the charity shops and the Saturday market. I only got one thing for myself(a vintage shift dress pattern) I could of bought so much more, but when charity shops want £20 for a bag or £30 for a Monsoon dress it's just not going to happen! The few other items I got are reluctantly being sold on Ebay.

So if you fancy any of the items below just click on the images to go to the Ebay page.

Vintage Richard Shops evening dress. I am gutted that I don't have the occasion to wear this dress too! The cape style sleeves are amazing!

Vintage satchel bag! Love this, but also need money for Christmas so it has to go!

Afternoon Ladies! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Mine has consisted of wardrobe sorting a vintage shopping(but more of that tomorrow!)

A little while ago I was contacted by Clothing at Tesco about taking part in 'Post It On' to celebrate their A/W10 collection release. I was given the opportunity to pick an item from the collection and also pick a fellow blogger to receive an item! Well of course I wanted to spread the A/W happiness!

After lusting over khaki nail varnish for a while I was surprised when I found a bottle lurking in an unpacked box(I moved into my house nearly a year ago and still haven't fully unpacked :S). I also seem to of become completely obsessed with matte nails!

I have never owned a fur coat before, and really love how it can be dressed up and down and layered for a cozy winter look!

The lovely blogger I am choosing to 'Post It On' to is Laura from A Daisy Chain Dream. Looking forward to seeing what you pick Laura!

Anyone else really feel like Autumn has hit today? The sun was misleadingly bright this morning, but it was bloody cold once I stepped out of the house! Probably not the best of days to be wearing a playsuit and sheer tights!

I decided to brave wearing bright red lipstick, and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be! I was convinced it would stand out(in a very bad way) against my pale skin, but it didn't look to bad!

Today was also the first outing of a pair of vintage grey tights I picked up in the charity shop a few weeks ago, but I really didn't realise quite how sheer they would be! I must learn to read packets! My legs ended up looking just very cold!

This is going to be a quick post, my laptop/internet is being completely crap tonight, so unbelievably slow. It has taken nearly an hour just to simply edit 3 pictures on Picnic and if I stay on this stupid computer much longer I am going to end up throwing it across the room(and the Mr shouts at me when I do that!)

Anyways, my hair is being a complete state at the moment, its at that horrible growing out/needing a cut/being awful stage! I have bought some hair dye in Golden Brown and am going to attempt to dye/ombre my hair but kind of the wrong way round(i.e. dyeing the top 3/4 of my hair and leaving the bottom 1/4 as it is!)

I recently won a giveaway over at May Loves Makeup and one of the prizes was the Barry M Limited Edition nail varnish in a beautiful purple/pink colour! I used ELF Matte Topcoat and love the colour! Anyone know why my matte topcoat goes rubbish and bumpy on the 1st nail but fine afterwards?!

Whilst editing my pictures I noticed that my nails go very nicely with the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon colour, and of course its an important issue to make people aware of!

Sorry for my minimal blogging recently. Crazy work schedules and general tiredness have got in the way. But I promise I will try harder!

I am planning on having a massive wardrobe clear out, I have got it into my mind that I can be ruthless and have a real good sort out! Hopefully it will go better than it usually does, I usually have the best intentions then have a small pile of maybe 5 things that I am prepared to part with. Despite half of my wardrobe being unworn/unloved/what was I thinking purchases!

So be prepared for a blog sale/shop soon! Hopefully with more than a few items!

Today's outfit was planned without checking the weather forecast, wearing suede open toed shoes when heavy rain decides to make an appearance was probably not the best of ideas!

Hope you all had a fab weekend, mine involved lots of lounge wear clothing, drinking strawberry and lime cider(best thing ever, tastes like fizzy strawberry ribena!) and eating alot of chocolate. Probably not the most productive of weekends! I did intend to have a ruthless sort through my wardrobe, but having realised its not going to be the simple job I first thought it would be.

In other news, I think these shorts may have shrunk a little, definitely can't wear these with bare legs anymore!
